How do you set up a wage garnishment in Canada on NET wages?

We can set up wage garnishments using the Other deductions option, Stephanie. I'll guide you through the steps and provide a screenshot for reference.

Although there isn't a specific deduction type named Garnishments available within the system, we can set this up using the Other deductions option.

Once you choose this alternative, you can decide if the deduction should be a Flat amount or a Percentage of the gross pay. I would still recommend consulting a tax professional before proceeding to ensure accuracy in your payroll and end-of-year tax reports.

Here's how you can set this up:

1. Head to the Payroll menu, then Employees 
2. Locate your preferred employee, then click the edit icon next to Pay.
3. In the deductions/contributions section, choose Start or Edit.
4. Click + Add deduction/contribution.
5. From the Deduction/contribution dropdown, select Other deductions.
6. Pick the appropriate type, and then enter garnishment in the Description box.
7. Complete the necessary details, then hit Save and Done.
    

After successfully setting up the wage garnishment as detailed, you can proceed with running your payroll normally.

The steps above should guide you in setting up your employee's garnishment. It's essential to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with legal requirements and accuracy in deductions. This thread will remain open, so feel free to reach out if you require further assistance.
